They have to expand and term limit SCOTUS. Dilute his power, incentivize good behavior and force him out eventually

It’d be really nice if they clustered by instance. Then one could theoretically follow all politicians in their favorite party without having to look them up manually.

Well would you look at that

Expand and term-limit SCOTUS. This system is ridiculous

Oh but getting sucked into random bullshit is what they want

Same

I know he says it’s pronounced “jif”, but I just don’t care. It’s like “gift” without the t

Not to mention the study confirmed that the two groups has similar mortality before covid and before the vaccines

Sometimes the obvious answer is wrong, but there are plenty of other reasons to run this study. Advocacy is better with real numbers backing it up, there are probably similar circumstances that are less obvious that now warrant a closer look…

I think the commenter didn’t notice that the analysis controlled for age through stratification. You’re right that that confounding variable is taken care of.

That’s kind of the problem I think. I was able to find like 2 people there I want to follow. Lemmy is going to be far more successful at displacing its alternative because all the communities you’d want to subscribe to are here.

No. My other instance is WireBase.org. It’s a smaller one

It’s type 2 fun. You don’t want to do it, but you’re glad you did when you do

Some of the most interesting parts of that book discuss this graph, and the debate among economists about whether it’s real (which is ludicrous because of course the poverty trap is real). The graph is interesting though because it shows a level of income that societies should strive to achieve for their citizens, ie the minimum you need to earn to get out of the trap. I don’t thing Esther Duflo (author) touches on it, but the extension of this theory to UBI is clear. Everyone should earn that minimum.

This is called the “poverty trap”. Here’s a great book about it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Economics

They definitely should not write bills in such a way that the opposition is excluded from its benefits. That’s a real bad precedent. Imagine a security situation where blue states are forsaken by the military.

I believe Trump even mused about something like this, which is how you know it’s unethical.
